The first two years of KU's five-year tuition strategy achieved the goals that were identified in 2002:

Provide much-needed new funding for high priority academic program enhancements;

Generate funds for need-based KU Tuition Grants; and

Avoid using tuition as a dollar-for-dollar substitute for reduced state funding.

KU's FY 2005 tuition proposal, the third year of the five-year strategy,
has been highly successful
in achieving its goals and has had no negative effect
on overall enrollment, which from Fall 2001 to Fall 2003 increased by 1,082
students, or 3.8 percent. KU is confident that the third and subsequent years
will be similarly successful at enhancing the academic experience for students
while, for the most part, holding harmless those who have the greatest financial need.
